Real-World Range vs Rated Range
The range on the window sticker assumes ideal conditions that rarely match a real road trip. Highway speeds, cold weather, and a loaded cargo area can all meaningfully cut into what you actually get.
- Highway speeds above 65 mph noticeably reduce efficiency.
- Cold weather can cut range by 20% or more.
- Build a buffer into your planning rather than trusting the rated number.
Could others share their real experience with range and how they are managing to extend it?
